Integrated Health Information Systems Framework In Post Natal Care For Modern And Traditional Malay Medicine

The overall aim of this research is to produce an integrated health information systems framework for Traditional Malay Medicine (TMM) and modern medicine in the field of postnatal care. A qualitative study based on grounded theory was conducted via healthcare experts in the field of modern medicine, Traditional Malay Medicine, and information technology (IT) subject matter experts. This research examined health information systems applications in modern and traditional medicine systems, provide an overview of TMM services in Malaysia and critically analyse the existing electronic health records structures and interoperability standards available. A conceptual framework was initially proposed from the literature review and analysis of interviews of the current framework. This research also investigated the critical data attributes required for Traditional Malay Medicine in postnatal care. A set of critical data attributes was developed and proposed from the analysis of results of the structured interviews. An information model was then developed from the set of critical data attributes. A common TMM data attributes in postnatal care may assist in making the proposed framework more flexible and interoperable, particularly when applied with relevant healthcare interoperability standards. The conceptual framework was then validated via healthcare practitioners and IT industry experts. A prototype system of electronic health record was also examined by the respondents to validate the proposed conceptual framework via exploratory prototyping. Consequently, the validation findings was analysed and new themes that emerged from the findings was highlighted to be included in the revised framework. A revised integrated health information systems framework proposed included health record information, interoperability standards, training, support, awareness, separation of authority, accreditation, regulation and enforcement, and adoption incentives. This research may significantly contribute to four main audiences – software developers, healthcare providers, Malay medicine practitioners, and Malay confinement users. Malay women who are the main users of postnatal treatment shall benefit from information availability to compare services delivered by providers. Healthcare providers shall benefit from the standardization of information exchange with other healthcare providers. Software developers may use this study to assist them in developing healthcare related applications in the postnatal domain, particularly in the design of a generic and extensible information model

Halal Computerised Systems Framework For The Halal Pharmaceuticals

This research aims to develop a framework to address halal regulatory industry requirements for computerised systems in the pharmaceutical industry. Computerised systems and software technology are heavily used to improve manufacturing and supply chain performance. Industry and religious authorities require a documented guideline to enforce halal certification whenever a manual operation is substituted by a computerised system. This research provides a critical analysis on the existing system in three main areas. First, an analysis of computerized systems used throughout the pharmaceutical supply chain. Second, the identification of critical points and controls required in halal pharmaceuticals based on the guidelines of two countries - Malaysia and indonesia. Third, a review of existing regulatory requirements for Computerised Systems. A conceptual framework was designed and developed using the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) method to identi fy critical control points that lead to haram conta mination. The initial framework was then validated via a review of Manufacturing Execution System (MES) implementation, a case study of an Enterpri se Resource Planning (ERP) implementation, a critical analysis of the international pharmaceutical industry standards, interview with subject matter experts and validation via prototype application. The outcome of this research would directly contribute to the gap in the current Halal Pharmaceuticals Guideline where usage of technology or computerised systems is not documented

Mymuet: A Design Of A Mobile Based Crowdsourced Assessment For Malaysia University English Test With Non-Synchronous Participant Interaction

Malaysian University English Test is a compulsory exam for local Malaysian students and a prerequisite for graduation. In 2017, more than five hundred thousand local students were enrolled in Malaysian public universities and therefore will need to sit for this examination. This enrolment number is increasing every year. However, there number of competent TESL graduates or English teachers available to cater this volume of students yearly is unknown. Many of these students are not from English speaking background and there are limited resources and assistant available for tutors who need to cater the demand of these students. Even though there are many resources online, the resources for speaking module mainly consists of tips to score and question examples. Students are unable to get feedback of their speaking module even if they practiced the mock exam questions. Moreover, the MUET speaking exam consists of group speaking tasks which the student or user may not be able to fulfil the quorum for practice. This paper shall propose MyMUET, a design of a one stop mobile based crowdsourcing tutor service for MUET to enable students to be able to obtain real time feedback of their speaking exam with interaction with non-real time participants with recommended tutors. Other MUET modules such as writing, reading and listening is also available to be used. MyMUET is developed based on Android studio and enables tutors to list their services and students to select the respective tutors. This method saves time for tutors to develop their own exam questions, enable them to focus on evaluation. This shall also be able to standardize the MUET examination to students receive high quality mock exam questions. MyMUET is then evaluated to ensure its relevance based on subject matter expert feedback. The evaluated system shows that students and academic expert find the application helpful to improve students learning experience

ENABLING EHEALTH IN TRADITIONAL MEDICINE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS INTEGRATION REQUIREMENTS

This paper shall investigate the information systems integration needs towards eHealth implementation in Traditional Medicine. This review seeks to answer questions related to the locations of the integration points for integrated systems for the accessibility of electronic health records in both Traditional Medicine and modern medicine to identify of the most suitable health information systems model and the selection of the concrete integration technologies and standards to be implemented. A systematic literature review was conducted to select the relevant studies. A total of 11 articles were finally included for assessment. The findings of this review revealed that data integration is considered the most important precondition for the basis of further integration and is the backbone or starting point of a successful integration project. Other information systems integration needs are information model, interoperability standards, workflow or process integration and access to multiple repositories from different platforms. Establishment of Traditional Medicine databases of medications, procedures, information and diseases is crucial to ensure a generic and extensible information model can be designed so that new data sources can be integrated without major changes to the data schema

Design Of Single And Dual-Axis Solar Tracker System Using Neural Network

Nowadays, solar energy is becoming more popular as it promotes awareness of an eco-friendly lifestyle. However, solar power generation is insufficient as the primary power generation in Malaysia. To overcome this issue, many private companies are devoting themselves to research to increase the amount of electricity produced by solar panels. Research has shown that a surface perpendicular to direct sunlight increases power generation significantly. Therefore, positioning the solar panel perpendicular to the direct sunlight is crucial as there are many factors to be considered. We will study the difference in dimensional movement and the method of tracking sunlight to make solar panels more efficient in power generation. Light can come from omnidirectional, the movement of the robot must have a higher dimension. Finding the highest intensity of sunlight becomes a challenges because sunlight does not constantly stagnate in a particular location. Therefore, a static solar panel is not as useful as a dynamic solar panel. Besides, the positioning of the sun will change accordingly based on the season. Hence, we need a dynamic solar tracker that can changes its solar panel position as the sun rises or falls. A neural network is chosen as the method of positioning the solar panel by moving with single-axis and moving with dual-axis

A Pipeline To Data Preprocessing For Lipreading And Audio-Visual Speech Recognition

Studies show that only about 30 to 45 percent of English language can be understood by lipreading alone. Even the most talented lip readers are unable to collect a complete message based on lipreading only, although they are often very good at interpreting facial features, body language, and context to find out. As you can imagine, this technique affects the brain in different ways and becomes exhausting over a period of time. If a person who is deaf, uses language and is able to read lips, hearing people may not understand the challenges they are facing just to have a simple one-on-one conversation. The hearing person may be annoyed that they are often asked to repeat themselves or to speak more slowly and clearly. They could lose patience and break off the conversation. In our modern world, where technology connects us in a way never thought possible, there are a variety of ways to communicate with another person. Deaf people come from all walks of life and with different backgrounds. In this study, a lipreading model is being developed that is able to record, analyze, translate the movement of lips and display them into subtitles. A model is trained with GRID Corpus, MIRACL-VC1 and pre-trained dataset and with the LipNet model to build a system which deaf people can decode text from the movement of a speaker’s mouth. This system will help the deaf people understand what others are actually saying and communicate more effectively. As a conclusion, this system helps deaf people to communicate effectively with others
